Microsoft · Internet Explorer · CVE-2018-8373
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Internet Explorer (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the JavaScript engine of Internet Explorer, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted web page or document. This could corrupt memory, enabling the attacker to gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
**Recommendations**
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
